06 Jul 02 - 10:48 AM (#743317) Subject: Yiippeee! BLUES WEEK is here!!!... From: Bobert Well, danged. No make that doubledanged just fir good measure. Yep, tomorrow at this time I'll be stuffin' my ol' boney hillbilly butt into my beat up Toyota and pointin' it in the general direction of Elkins, Wes Ginny for *BLUES WEEK*! Sorry, didn't mean to raise my voice there. Yep, got all my gear, my ol' Martin, my ResoTweedonator steelie, my Gibson tenor, my vitaimins, ear plugs, portable fan, a few changes of BVD's and "297 feet of rope", if'nz ya; sniffin' my drift. And the best part of it, other then seeing old friends and learnin' a few new Delta licks, is that Iz gonna be able to work with mah main man, Col. James "Sparkey" Rucker, *and* Corey Harris! Yep, just got the schedule and its gonna work out just fine. And the butt whoppins I got here last month won't compare to the ones Iz gonna get down in the mountains, but a little humility ain't a bad thing, no sir... Yeah, I'm going from being a big fish in a small pond to a little fish in a big pond... And, SharonA, can I have some of that "turkey" scrapple tomorrow morning before I leave? Iz been good! Ask my poor fingers, they'll tell ya... See ya all in a couple weeks... Bobert |

I just know that Ghia is bouncing up and down on it's tires saying "Take me, Take me". I mean a warm up blast up the end of the holler and back is fine and dandy, but all you did was whet it's appetite. Time for a ROAD TRIP. BTW, I posted another message about the lost Furry Lewis CD.It is really a fairly simple job to extricate it fom the bowels of your CD player. You won't even have to wear rubber gloves or use a Karmann-Ghia hammer. rr |

06 Jul 02 - 09:00 PM (#743530) Subject: RE: BS: Yiippeee! BLUES WEEK is here!!!... From: Bobert ~S~: Iz in big trouble. You say nine? Hmmmmmm? Well, danged, the way me and the Wes Ginny slide rule figure it, I'z come up with a minus 2 calloses, which of course any gitfiddler knows is not good news on the eve of Blues Week. But, hark, Iz gonna write one of them notes signed Bobert's Mom. That always fooled 'em in school so, hey, it's worth a try... As fir the finger picks, well, I'll see how far the right hand goes. I've been playin' with em' a little and so it's no problem, but I got a big ol' callose's on my thumb and 1st two fingers so I'm hopin' to not give in to metal and plastic... RR: Yeah, I'm bummed about not being able to atke the Ghia. I went to the BUG OUT and tried to find a Ghia roof rack and didn't and haven't had any luck on the net. Seein as I'm taking 3 guitars and gear AND meeting up with my wife, the P-Vine, in Roanoke when Blues Week is over and the two of us going to Western Carolina with her stuff too, the Gearo was out of the question. Art: Will do. And I'll tell Sparkey and Joan Fenton that I know you. CarolC: Thanks, and hope you're planning on being at the Mountain Stage songwriter's competition next month in Jefferson County 'cause I'll be there... Bobert |

06 Jul 02 - 10:25 PM (#743555) Subject: RE: BS: Yiippeee! BLUES WEEK is here!!!... From: Bobert CarolC: Hmmmmmmm? Like what? I ain't wearin no dress, that's fir sure. Ya got somthin in mind that ain't too conspicious or obnoxious. Yeah, I'll wear it, and if I get anywhere in the competition, I'll even plug the Catbox... either way, lookin' forward to it. Bobert |

You talk good when ya jus' let yo hair down and rememberate where yoz from. And, heck, if the note don't work, I'll just blow 'em away with, if Iz don't say so myseff, the meanest version of ol' Son House's "Empire State Express" that I believe has ever been done. No brag, just fact... But that ain't gonna get me thru the rest of the program so I'll corn-cider your suggestion... KAT: I'll do Tweedsblues and Mudcat proud. Really! But thanks fir you words of support. Makes a diff.... |

"Thank-you for visiting this sorry excuse of a site..." I had a little look around Tweed and I could see a few familiar names there although I had a little trouble reading the threads. Maybe it's just me:~) |
